This is easiest the greatest AC game ever made. If anyone is pondering whether or not to pick this game up, just do it! It is hands down my favorite game of the year. I think I like it better than GTA5.

-He never actually joins the Assassins
-It should be called Pirate's Creed.
-End of the world cliffhanger from AC3 is never explained properly
-Edward spends the whole game killing people so that he can get to the observatory, to then sell it to the highest bidder at the same time he will kill everybody in his way with a hypocritical sense of moral superiority. It's pretty stupid really. What if at the end of it when he puts it up for sale and the Templars outbid everyone else? To them money is no object.

Please... Redemption my arse. The man is a $#@! 99% of the game and seeks "redemption" in the last 1%.

For me this wasn't a proper AC, It felt like a prologue turned into a full game, but due to it's timeline, the avenues it could go were limited.

It's also unhelpful that I hate games that use filler side quests and "collect-a-thon" kleptomania as a way of making the game unnecessarily longer.

The fact that he was a "$#@!" ( LOL I love that Brits use this word for guys) Is the whole point. He doesnt change in the last bits. If you do the Assassins bureau missions you see this. On a side note I have yet to play a game OTHER then a FPS that is 6 hours long Not use filler missions.

I loved this game but make no mistakes if you dont like open world hunt and seek and many many sneak missions you will not like this game. Truth be told as well The main Character is not a likeable guy. He is a pirate for crying out loud!

Like Lethal said, its the same for me, this is the first AC game since AC2 and AC2:Brotherhood that i actually wanted to finish, as it is a lot of fun. I want to explore every section of the game, go everywhere, see and do everything. I dont care about the multiplayer if there is multiplayer, seeing as im not much of a multiplayer gamer.

The actual combat against enemies is broken. It doesnt work. Like ive said, when i board other ships for their goods, i hold off and try and pick people off with the swivel guns and my pistols, because countering is pointless when theres 3 people attacking you at once. If im in a hurry for plunder, ill usually just sink a whole bunch of ships in a row rather than board each one. Its half the loot, but if youre in a spot where theres 5 ships, its just faster, especially when youve upgraded your cannons and armor to a certain point. right now, i just need a whole ton of money and ill have fully upgraded my broadside cannons, and my armor.

On that note, i would've liked it a little more if you could not only upgrade your ship, but hijack and upgrade other ships youve sent to your fleet instead of just being resigned to using the same ship the entire game. That wouldve added another layer of personalization that i really think this series is lacking.

pretty much this! this is my first AC game, and melee combat is awful. 1 on 1 its not so broken, but 1 to 2 or more its not so good. also my 2nd BIG concerne is parkour system, it easy, but not as responsive as it could be, i like Infamous realisation more

I must admit the melee combat is not that great, 1 on 1 is easy enough but if there is more than 2 it's hard to kill one of them because the other 3 are stabbing you in the back and breaking your combo, but for me it's such a minor thing it doesn't spoil the game!

I agree combat is difficult when more than 1v2 but I usually just drop a smoke bomb and stab them all in the neck :P I don't often get into combat though.

I shall try that when I get home, I avoid contact on the ships by just using the swivel canon, I find you can take them over quicker as well!

Yeah the swivel cannon is good for that, I rarely board the ships though I can kill more quicker if I sink them and take half loot. But yeah upgrade the bomb pouch to carry I think 15 and you are set, also helps with sleep darts and berserk darts!

I just can't upgrade quick enough for my liking, could buy the ship pack that saves time and allows me to carry more but I would feel like I'm cheating if I do!

Even though the extras are cheap to buy I don't see a point in doing it, it's easy to plunder ships and get supplies and money so no point removing an element of the game to just progress faster! That's just me though.
